PDC-F-000143-0000 - Capturing the Grandeur of Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print transports us to the awe-inspiring Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls in Rome. The image showcases the magnificent nave, adorned with a colonnade of smooth columns featuring exquisite Corinthian capitals that gracefully separate it from the aisles. Above these walls, a frieze embellished with mosaic portraits of esteemed Popes in tondos adds an air of reverence. Gazing further up, we are treated to frescoes depicting scenes from the remarkable life of Saint Paul, beautifully displayed between arched windows. In this splendid composition, two statues stand tall and proud - 'Saint Peter' by Jacometti and 'Saint Paul' by Ravelli - paying homage to these revered apostles. The grand Triumphal Arch steals our attention next as its mosaics transport us back in time to when they were first crafted during the era of Saint Leo the Great. These intricate designs add depth and historical significance to this sacred space. Our eyes then gravitate towards the high altar crowned by a stunning ciborium created by Arnolfo di Cambio while being surrounded by an apse mosaic dating back to Honorius III's reign. Although destroyed in a fire in 1823, a Sixteenth-century replica coffered ceiling now graces this holy sanctuary. Finally, we appreciate every step taken on this hallowed ground as we admire its marble floor adorned with mesmerizing geometric patterns that enhance both its beauty and sanctity. This extraordinary photograph was captured between 1880-1900 ca. , skillfully composed by Alinari Edizione using their expertise behind each click. It immortalizes not only architectural marvels but also centuries-old artistry preserved within Rome's Basilica of S. Paolo Fuori le Mura – truly an enchanting testament to human creativity and devotion.
